Revolutionary Mothering
20 May 2016
Join Revolutionary Mothering: Love on the Front Lines co-editors Mai’a Williams and China Martens with local contributors Lisa Factora-Borchers, Terri Nilliasca, and Cynthia Oka for a panel discussion of movement shifting committed to birthing new worlds. Inspired by the legacy of radical and queer Black feminists of the 1970s and ’80s, Revolutionary Mothering places marginalized mothers of color at the center of a world of necessary transformation. The challenges we face as movements working for racial, economic, reproductive, gender, and food justice, as well as anti-violence, anti-imperialist, and queer liberation are the same challenges that many mothers face every day. Marginalized mothers create a generous space for life in the face of life-threatening limits, activate a powerful vision of the future while navigating tangible concerns in the present, move beyond individual narratives of choice toward collective solutions, live for more than ourselves, and remain accountable to a future that we cannot always see.
